This is a palm guy. He had quite a few and some zone challenging plants crowded onto his lot.

Not especially Klahanie. Banana's were singed by our Dec 28th frost here too.
They do well in all the cities close to the bay- but not too close to the Golden Gates fog.
They are also a delicacy for gophers and will not take any root disturbance. Transplanting is a nogo!
He's lucky not to be close to the greenbelt...those gophers are never able to make it.

Very impressive Bismarckia for Hayward. I knew they would grow there, though. Bismarckia nobilis is a pretty tough palm.
I foresee many more growing in the East Bay to the South Bay areas. I think I told you I wanted to try one in Fremont when I lived there; however, at the time small trees were a fortune! Now, they so inexpensive for relatively large plants. I guess it's because they're a lot more common. Many nurseries in Northern San Diego County grow them by the thousands, now. I'm think it's because of their beauty and extreme drought tolerance.

Looks like it is doing well there. Is it in a protected microclimate area?
